Don't Fear Them

Jeremiah 1:8

You are not created to live a life of fear.
It is possible to live a fear free life.
It is no surprise Jesus always encouraged people to fear not.
Matthew 14:27

Fear acts as a spiritual and emotional cage.
Fear works against your progress and well being.
Fear puts a limit on our life.
Fear is a waster.

On life's journey there are experiences, situations, challenges, people, and circumstances that may cause you to fear.
Fear can be overcome and should be overcome.
2 Timothy 1:7
The only fear permitted in your life is the fear of God.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
This is a different kind of fear.
This type of fear is a healthy, respectful, reverence of God.
It is a fear/reverence put in us by God when we choose Him.

Fear is one of the arrows of the enemy meant to stop you. It has a freezing effect.
Psalm 91:5
Fear stings and freezes people in one spot.
Fear limits your potential, cages your talents, robs you of your future and denies you of the opportunities of the present.
Fear robs you of the exploits you should achieve, and the glory you are meant to manifest.
Fear is a weapon Satan uses to waste lives.
Fear is not of the kingdom of God.
Fear is of the devil.
Fear is from the kingdom of darkness.

There are many ways fear will try and sneak up on you.
Through the words of people, fear can be transmitted.
Fear can come as a result of what you see.
Fear can come as a result of past experiences.
It can come through what you read.
It can come through what you heard.
It can occur due to an absence of God's Spirit.

The Spirit of God is the antidote to fear.
The Spirit of God gives might and strengthens, pushing out fear.
Isaiah 11:2
The Spirit of God makes us bold.

There are those (the religious leaders of the sects of His time) who tried to limit Jesus, intimidate, and perhaps scare Jesus when He was on earth.
It didn't work!
In life you will come across such people- through family, on the job, in your social circles, among friends, in religious circles, in marriage, and in your day to day life.
Don't fear them!

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination.
